On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast presented by Mike's Beer Bar, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to discuss Mike Tomlin's standing in the organization after a third consecutive loss in NFL Week 15 against Indianapolis. Is the veteran coach safe no matter what because of the way owner Art Rooney II values stability? Could a winless finish to the season actually change Rooney's perspective? And how does effort level from important pieces like George Pickens and Diontae Johnson factor into the decision?
Our duo tackles those topics, the team's awful quarterback play with Mitch Trubisky in the absence of injured starter Kenny Pickett and the defense's many injuries that may prove too much for the unit to overcome.
